Kennametal Inc. – Wear Materials and Components  

First applied in 1982, Kennametal Conforma Clad incorporates two industry workhorse materials-tungsten carbide and Stellite™ cobalt-based alloys-into our unique cloth-based and UltraFlex™ slurry-based processes. This allows us to provide superior wear-resistant claddings in a wide variety of substrate materials and geometries for a range of industries and applications.

Refineries process some of the world’s most aggressive fluids and slurries. In these environments, pump life can be severely limited, leading to increased maintenance costs and downtime as well as decreased reliability. Conforma Clad technology delivers full protection for all wetted pump surfaces.

Complete more stages per day and service more wells per year with the longest operating seats in the industry-KennaFlow sold tungsten carbide seats from Kennametal.

Providing significantly higher abrasion resistance compared to steel seats, KennaFlow seats, with a full open seat design, offer a redesigned interference fit and optimized dimensions.

While steel seat operating life is typically 80-100 hours, KennaFlow seats achieve operating life of up to 1200 hours With this increased seat life, more stages can be completed in less time, increasing your profitability.

Offered in P4 and P5 sizes, KennaFlow seats can also be customized.

With a through understanding of your process and challenges, Kennametal proactively addresses wear, heat and corrosion problems to deliver productivity, reliability, and extended life to OEMs and rebuilders of centrifugal separation equipment.

Our portfolio of separation solutions includes scroll flight tiles (brazes carbide/steel assembly); feed and discharge nozzles; scraper bars and plows; wear tile platelets, and screen bars. Other material solutions available from Kennametal include Stellite™, Conforma Clad™, UltraFlex™ and hard facing materials.

With our new centrifuge tile, we have developed a product that brings OEM quality and reliability to the centrifuge rebuilder as a standard offering to the market.

Kennametal Stellite offers a range of casting processes to protect MWD/LWD components such as turbines/impellers, flow straighteners, stators, erosion inserts, and turbine sleeves. In addition to providing as-cast surfaces that minimize machining requirements, rapid prototyping allows engineers to trial their designs with a minimum investment of time and expense. Centrifugal casting is also offered to product high-quality tubular blanks with fine, unform grain structure.

This family of products also includes hardfacing powders, rods, wires, electrodes in a full range of alloy grades. Our experts can help you identify the best material and process for your specific wear or corrosion issue.

We understand downtime is expensive for our customers.

Kennametal’s additive manufacturing capabilities offer a game-changing solution-high performance materials and parts, produced faster and with the design flexibility of 3D printing.

Kennametal brings nearly a century of materials and manufacturing expertise to every layer of the AM process—from raw material to finished part—helping our customers unlock the full value of 3D printing for applications demanding wear, erosion, corrosion and high temperature performance.
